Here’s The Scoop…4/28/09…LBTS Commission Meeting…#1…Sucking The Life Out Of This Town…

The particulars will be posted throughout the next 2 days…but the overriding “theme” seen…. This runaway train has definitely derailed and is way… way off track ……headed for disaster!…

The Mc-Furth “Gang” and their CIC “concerned citizens”…(as the Vice Mayor referred to them …purposely leaving off the political action group title of “CIC” and inflating the number of actual members in attendance at the 4/27/09 meeting) ……have decided that the businesses in town should further be hindered in their ability to provide entertainment and continue to bring life into this seaside village!…

They actually think that it is justifiable to not only hit these establishments up with their insane “noise ordinance” that no one outside their shrinking membership wants… but they came up with a way to further impose monetary constraints on them (the restaurants) by wanting “stipends” imposed for use of the public streets that would go to benefit town special events… to severely limit the number of patrons who could attend their business’ weekly Friday/Saturday night events…and wanting the businesses to return every 3 months for the permitting process instead of yearly…left to endure the inevitable 2 day continuation meetings to see if they will get a renewal…or get turned down……

Not through yet we hear the Town has paid overtime for Code Enforcement to come and count the number of people in the downtown area …in order to identify if they have exceeded their permitted “estimates”……

We hear that if they impose either one…you can all kiss goodbye to Friday and Saturday nights continuing on!…

How convenient this is in light of the words previously posted from the Coastal Construction worker who told this writer he was told by the Town there would be no more public street events!…

Why would the Mc-Furth -CIC crowd want to suck the life out of this town?…

We suddenly have more and more codes…ordinances… permits…and fees at a record pace…for what reason?…

Who is driving this train?….

Can somebody please put the brakes on!….

Readers better pay attention…and make it known to your Commissioners ……that enough is enough…
